    Step 4 of 4

    Completed

    Project Overview

    County: Chester County
    Municipality: West Whiteland Township
    State Route: U.S. 30
    Local Name: Exton Bypass
    Project Type: Sinkhole Remediation
    MPMS Number: 104807
    Last Updated: October 2026

    This federally-funded project involved permanent repairs to sinkholes at two spots along U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass), between the U.S. Business 30 (Lancaster Avenue) interchange and Clover Mill Road. In addition to fixing the sinkholes, nearby drainage basins were improved to help prevent future issues.

    The work area stretched along U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) from about three-quarters of a mile west of the Clover Mill Road bridge to about a quarter of a mile east of the bridge, in West Whiteland Township.

    The goal of the project was to address sinkhole activity and ensure smooth and safe traffic flow on U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass).

    In addition to the sinkhole repair, PennDOT added resurfacing work using state funding to address the pavement concerns along the eastern end of U.S. 30 in Chester County.

    PennDOT's contractor resurfaced approximately 2.3 miles of eastbound U.S. 30 (Coatesville Downingtown Bypass) between U.S. 322 (Horseshoe Pike) to just past the Route 113 (Uwchlan Avenue). The resurfacing work began on Tuesday, September 8, with milling operations. Nighttime lane closures were in place on sections of the corridor as the contractor worked to mill and pave U.S. 30 East (Coatesville Downingtown Bypass).

    PennDOT announced on Friday, October 9 that work on this project, including the added resurfacing work, has been completed.

    Construction/Traffic Update

    Construction began on Monday, September 29, 2025, on the $6.8 million project to provide long-term sinkhole remediation on U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) in West Whiteland and East Caln townships, Chester County.
